Goebbert spent 42 of his 47 games in the field at LF (the other five in RF). In the outfield, he committed seven errors in 78 chances for a .910 Fld%, with two outfield assists.

Goebbert suffered a lacerated kidney while at Northwestern, so I'm guessing that's going to take some rehab time to get straight. That said, August was Goebbert's high-water mark of 2009, with a season-high .733 OPS, and getting 10 of his 15 extra-base hits. He did well against righties (.703 OPS), but struggled with lefties (.552 OPS). Encouragingly, away from Joe Bruno Stadium, Goebbert hit .257/.347/.367 (.714 OPS), compared to posting a .599 OPS at home.
